A few days back I watched a SomeOrdinaryGamers video, in which he states to drive a Tesla car, despite expressing the obvious privacy concerns surrounding the built-in camera system; but doesn’t seem to consider the privacy-impact to those around the vehicle, he chooses to drive through public streets. And another example being Rob Braxman, while ironically, both known to frequently criticize other public-facing, internet connected surveillance systems (like Ring for example).
If it was “just” a cabin camera, staring you straight in the face every time you drive your car (and you’re somehow okay with that), it would still be a terrible look in context with your channel content, but at least it is contained to you personally. But knowingly driving these surveillance nightmares on wheels through public streets, subjecting others to that surveillance, while you represent pro-privacy channels online, is just inexcusably hypocritical to me. But perhaps it might just be me, so what are your thoughts?
Alec from Technology Connections brought up a good point in recent video about EVs. He mentioned how Tesla owners are a special kind of EV driver and don’t actually care about EV technology or green(er) vehicles; they only care about their Tesla. I’d imagine this is part of that mindset. Tesla can do no wrong in their eyes, even if it goes against their normal morals and beliefs.

The dumbfuck YouTuber who pretended to be an engineer loves Teslas? Amazing. On the nose.
Also, don’t get your privacy advice from YouTube. A horrible idea.

That seems reasonable. Linux computers are only secure with a skilled user, the average user likely has their privacy better protected by iOS which while slightly weaker on privacy is much more locked down on security.

I’ve been following their content pretty closely, and I do not recall anything of that sort. They did recommend iPhone over stock Android, which is accurate.
So until you can produce a source to that claim, I call horseshit.

Not how this works, mate, but you do you.

The rules of rational discourse are centuries old. But if you need them spelled out once more, here they are: If you claim shit, you back it up with evidence. If you can’t or find weird excuses why you shouldn’t have to, people will legitimately call you out on making shit up.
Case in point: I think you made a case for torturing fluffy little ducklings with red-hot pokers in the past. You’re a bad person for doing so. I can’t find a source right now that proves you did it, but I’m sure it’s somewhere in your post history. So unless you prove you didn’t say that (which is impossible, btw), I expect you and everyone else here to accept my claim as true.
did he? when, where? context?
techlore is an up to date privacy source for me. Their commentary on recent events is sometimes helpful
